Chapter 156: The Prince is Dead, the Prince is Chitose
In front of the palace, the clan, the court, the kings, the princes, the ministers, all dressed in white linen mourning clothes, stood respectfully, solemnly.
In the entire team, no one spoke a word, and even breathing was silent.
Li Xuan stood solemnly in the center of Li Jing, the heir of King Zheng, and Li Xu, the son of King Huo, and lowered his head.
At this moment, the door of the Imperial Palace opened, and a figure walked out steadily.
Li Xuan looked up and saw that it was Wang Fulai, the chief administrator of the inner court.
"The kings and ministers worship and honor the emperor Yusi!" Wang Fulai waved the dust, stepped back and stood respectfully to one side.
Immediately, Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, Li Yuanliang, the king of Huo, Liu Renliang, the left minister, and Dai Zhide, the right minister, stepped into the palace one after another.
Li Xuan followed closely behind Li Jing and walked towards the palace in a deep step.
The white flags in the palace are hung high, the incense is pervasive, and there is a slight chill in the summer of May.
There was not a single guard in the palace, but no one dared to make the slightest move at this moment.
Before the mourning hall, the prince ordered Li Yan, and the prince's servant ordered Hou Cheng to stand on the left and right sides, bowing his hands and bowing his hands.
In the mourning hall, Li Xian, King Yong, Li Xian, King Ying, and Li Dan, King Xiang, knelt on the left side in sackcloth; Crown Princess Pei, Princess Taiping, and Jun of Guangping County knelt on the right side.
An old man with a white beard and hair, dressed in a black robe, stood on one side, his face haggard, and his eyes full of pain.
"Brother Hongzhong, mourn!" After Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, offered incense, he bowed his hand to the old man.
The old man just nodded lightly, and then whether it was to Huo Wang Li Yuanliang, or the left minister Liu Renliang, or the right minister Dai Zhide, they all had an indifferent face.
"Pei Weng's Day mourns!" Li Xuan arched his hand, took a step back, and then faced the crown princess Pei and Princess Taiping one after another, and then walked out of the mourning hall, and his eyes fell on Li Xian, the king of Yong, on the left.
The undercurrent is turbulent!
The one just now was the father of the crown princess Pei, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, Pei Judao.
Qiu Shenqi is still the general of Zuo Jin Wuwei, and the other general of Zuo Jin Wuwei is Cheng Chubi.
Still no one spoke, and when Li Xuan walked out of the door of the palace again, Wang Fulai, who was standing here before, was gone.
Standing at the door was already a fifty-year-old general wearing gold armor and a white linen mourning robe.
This person is none other than Fang Xianzhong, the general of Zuojin Wuwei. new
Today, in the middle of the Taigong, the forbidden army in the north, the sixteen guards in the south, the generals, generals, and Zhonglangjun in the palace are all in the future.
Only Pei Judao, the father-in-law of Emperor Li Hong, and Fang Xianzhong, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, the father-in-law of Li Xian, the king of Yong, came.
Zuo Jin Wuwei General Fang Xianzhong is the fourth son of the late Shangzhu State, the Military Department Shangshu, the Zuo Xiaowei General, the Governor of Youzhou, and the Qinghe County Gongfang Renyu.
The greatest merit of Qinghe County Gongfang Renyu in his life was not that he defected to Emperor Taizong in his early years, nor did he clearly support Empress Wu in the abolition of Wang Liwu.
Instead, when he was the governor of Yangzhou, he personally pacified the Tianyin Sect Chen Shuozhen's uprising, and he was credited with the military department Shangshu and General Zuo Xiaowei.
The other two heroes of that year, Cui Yixuan, the assassin of Wuzhou, served as the imperial doctor after leaving Wuzhou, and was summoned to judge Sun Wuji.
After leaving Wuzhou, he successively served as the governor of Longzhou, the history of the Guizhou Assassin, and the Sima of the Jingzhou Metropolitan Prefecture.
The most important thing is Fang Renyu, he is the father of the Yong princess Fang, once Li Xian ascends the throne, he is the national abbot.
Li Xuan turned to look at the mourning hall and sat down, just after everyone entered the mourning hall, he first saluted Li Xian, the king of Yong, Li Xian, and Li Dan, the king of the prime minister, and then bowed to the crown princess Pei.
The front of the crown princess and Pei Judao was crowded with people, and they had long been covered out of sight, while Li Xian, the king of Yong, was in order.
Li Xuan can now see Li Xian's appearance clearly even if he is standing at the gate of the Imperial Palace, gentle and elegant, calm and steady.
Li Xuan turned around,
Mixed in with the crowd, he walked out with a solemn face.
came to Fang Xianzhong's side, stretched out his hand and bowed: "Fang Weng!"
"King of Nanchang County, please get up!" Although Fang Xianzhong was trying to cover it, the sadness in his eyes couldn't be covered at all.
Li Xuan nodded, then turned and left.
The emperor's hand is really cruel!
The crown prince Li Hong has not yet been buried, and on the day of his May 7, he has begun to clearly hint to the kings and ministers that the next prince will be Li Xian, the king of Yong.
Fang Xianzhong, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, as the father-in-law of King Yong, stood at the door of the palace to see off guests, which is enough to make people think about it.
This hand is extremely cruel to the crown princess and Pei Judao, but Fang Xianzhong may not feel better.
The Fang family has always taken prudence and self-preservation as its family motto, and the fate of the descendants of Fang Xuanling, the same clan in the early years, is embarrassing.
Fang Renyu is Fang Xuanling's uncle, Fang Xianzhong is Fang Xuanling's brother, and he is also the uncle of Fang Xuanling's love and Fang Xuanling's brother.
Fang Xuanling's vein was due to Fang's widowhood, Princess Gaoyang's rebellion, and the family collapsed, and even Fang Renyu was affected in his early years, if it wasn't for the Wuzhou War, I'm afraid their family would be difficult to rise again.
Fang Xianzhong, who is accustomed to seeing the ups and downs of personnel and has a deep understanding of the current situation, will be worried.
I am afraid that the present day of honoring the emperor is the tomorrow of my own family.
In addition, he and Pei Judao have been colleagues for many years, and now they feel the same way.
What a rare sobriety!
Li Xuan's gaze swept over Fang Xianzhong's face, and he couldn't help but be amazed.
After thinking about it carefully, he knew that the root cause of all this was still from the strong pressure of the martial queen.
No one knows better than them, the palace ministers, how many chess pieces the queen of heaven has arranged openly and secretly in the month since the crown prince Li Hong died of illness.
No one knows how tragic the power struggle between the emperor and queen has reached in the depths of the palace.
Li Xuan shook his head, don't look at him who has been in the limelight in Luoyang recently, but that's all, among today's court bosses, he is still a little transparent on the edge.
Li Xuan followed behind Li Jing, the heir of King Zheng, and walked silently all the way.
The people around are the same, I don't know how many people are pondering the scene just now.
The emperor arranged this way, I am afraid that it is also out of the balance of political power.
Although the crown prince Li Hong died, but now he is replaced by Li Xian, and the hearts of the people have completely changed in just one encounter today.
This hand is really clever, but it still hurts some people, but there is no way to do it.
At this moment, the footsteps ahead suddenly stopped, Li Xuan subconsciously looked up, and suddenly saw that in front of him, Wang Fulai, the head of the palace, was standing on the side of the palace road.
Liu Renliang on the left, Dai Zhide on the right, Hao Chujun in the middle book, Zhao Renben in the middle of the door, all the prime ministers, and Shangshu all stopped in front of his footsteps.
Li Xuan turned around, and everyone in the back walked from the palace one after another, a few points faster than usual.
As if he saw someone appear, Wang Fulai's eyes lit up, and then he stood in the middle of the palace and shouted in a deep voice: "Your Majesty's dictation: The day after tomorrow, the great dynasty, order all the kings and ministers, and the civil and military officials of the eastern capital who are above the fifth grade, all to participate."
"Your Ministers obey." Li Xuan bowed respectfully, and so did the others.
Li Xuan counted in his heart, the day after tomorrow is the first day of June, the thirty-seventh day of the death of the prince, and the funeral of hundreds of officials is also the time of the monthly New Day court meeting.
In May, due to the death of the crown prince, all the Shuowang Dynasty meetings were suspended until the 36th, which happened to be the June Shuo Dynasty.
Li Xuan suddenly frowned, the civil and military officials above the fifth grade of the Shendu, Li Xuan is now the fifth grade of the Shangyao Fengyu, the fourth grade of the Tongyi doctor, the inspector Zuo Qianniu Wei Zhonglang general, not to mention that he is the king of the dynasty, this time the court meeting, he will also participate.
In Li Xuan's mind, so many court prime ministers and six Shangshu appeared before.
They rushed from Chang'an, I am afraid that it is also for this court meeting.
The government and government that have accumulated in the past month must be unified
At the same time, Li Xuan had a feeling that his post as governor of Wu was about to come down.
